The National Cartoonists Society has announced this year's nominees for their big award: this is the one known as The Reuben to all but some under-informed obituary writers that mistake the divisional awards given out during the same evening as the Real Deal. Along with the Pulitzer Prize in editorial cartooning, I believe the Reuben to be the biggest honor in North American comics -- it's right up there with the Angouleme Grand Prix in terms of worldwide honors available.

This year's nominees are Stephan Pastis, Tom Richmond and Brian Crane. Congratulations to all three. This makes a really big couple of weeks for Crane, as his syndicate just announced that Pickles reached the 800-client mark.
